Now that we can't upload pictures from our hard drives direct to the site...We have to go through a sharing site and all my links to the various ones got erased when my system crashed...
Could we have a list of photo sites available or is it better to go exclusive with one site?
I really need to upload some pictures and have no way of doing it...
Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by, "can't upload pictures from our hard drives direct to the site". I've been doing it, the browse button to attach a file is right below the first Submit button under this window. You might have to scroll down to see it.

here is a guide to posting images that i wrote for another forum
go to
http://www.photobucket.com
at the top of the first page there is a button that says join now, click that link
it will ask you for a username and a password, then you click next, then it asks for personal information... i believe you have to give a valid email address to activate the account... but you do not have to use real information for the other fields...
once you create an account, log into it... you will see a screen that will have 3 blank boxes in it, with a button next to each one that says browse... simply click the browse button and choose the picture to upload...
then click the upload button... you can upload thousands of pictures to photobucket, but if you are posting for an add here, you probably only need a couple...
once a photo is uploaded it will appear in your album a bit farther down the page... click on the picture that you want to upload to this forum... once you have done that... it will show the full sized image, with some controls above it...
one of those buttons says "resize" to post pictures on this site please resize them to a size smaller than 800x600... anything bigger looks really bad on some peoples screens...
once the image is sized properly, you can then link it to a post in this forum... to do so, is not hard... to the right of the image (or below it if you are looking at your main album) are a series of boxes with the image links in them....
to link a picture here, it should have the "img" codes around it... looking something like this...

please note that i have intentionally inserted spaces inside the brackets so that the text will show up... if i were to take those spaces out, you would see an image...
i hope this helps
i wrote it for a buy/sell forum and we have a size limit on the pictures over there, so if that doesnt apply here, ignore that part

There is a maximum size to post pictures here from your own computer.
